Model features 0.8m3 of incubation space, automated temperature control and a sophisticated infrared (IR) sensor for instant CO2 regulation for pharmaceutical, biotech and life sciences
Sheldon releases the Shel Lab model 2428, the latest addition to its line of extra-large capacity CO2 incubators.
Model 2428 features 0.8m3 of incubation space, automated temperature control and a sophisticated infrared (IR) sensor for instant CO2 regulation.
It is ideal for pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life sciences applications such as large-scale tissue cultures and cell line production.
Shel Lab model 2428 maintains constant temperature from +5 to 60C and CO2 levels up to 20%.
Its IR sensor immediately detects changes in CO2 concentration and within seconds triggers CO2 regulation.
Typical CO2 uniformity is +/-0.1% at 5% and recovery to 5% can occur within three minutes, even in applications where the chamber door is opened frequently. To conserve gas consumption, a CO2 shutoff occurs when the door opens.
"Because applications such as large-scale tissue culture depend on a highly regulated chamber environment, we've equipped the model 2428 with a fast and efficient IR sensor to guarantee CO2 uniformity," said Julie Kay Schatzman, Sheldon's vice president of marketing and sales. "And to help users verify and monitor chamber conditions, the unit's 4-20 mAmp output continuously transmits CO2 and temperature level readings, while sensors with audible or visual alarms monitor set points.
"The unit's heated and filtered CO2 gas line also prevents condensation, greatly reducing the chances of contamination".
Shel Lab model 2428 measures 94 (w) x 91 (d) x 188cm.
It features a stainless steel interior and durable powder-coated exterior with a viewing window.
It can be equipped with up to 30 shelves and accommodates tissue culture flasks, cell factories or roller bottle rack systems.
Four interior electrical outlets and a reinforced floor with special flip-out ramps facilitate movement of equipment such as roller racks.
